The fox is a quick, wary animal found in most lands. Tamed, it fights at your side, biting whatever comes for you.
Where it lives
The chance that a stretch of land has one, by land:
| Land | Chance |
|---|---|
| The Woods | 20 in 100 |
| The Rocky Highlands | 22 in 100 |
| The Tundra | 45 in 100 |
| The Desert | 14 in 100 |
Animals never appear close to where the world began, or inside a village. On the Tundra most foxes have the white Arctic coat.
Taming
Make a Fox Treat on the TREATS tab of a crafting table in a Goddess's land, from 5 Raw Meat or 5 Raw Fowl with 1 Egg, or just 1 Egg. Carry it, walk up slowly, and give it the treat with E. One treat is enough. See Taming.
As a companion
Fights at your side: it runs at whatever comes for you and bites.
Its numbers at level 1 and level 20, with STRENGTH 4, VITALITY 4 and WITS 5 and no traits, talents or gear:
| Ability | Level 1 | Level 20 |
|---|---|---|
| Bite | 1 damage | 4.8 damage |
| Bites every | 0.85 s | 0.85 s |
| Health | 24 | 79 |
It has five talents of its own to learn (see Talents), and its own gear: the Trickster's Rig (see Companion Gear).
At home
In your herd it bites enemies that come into her land. It gives Fox Fur: 1 each batch, a batch every 1.5 days (in the game), with up to 3 batches waiting. Happiness changes the wait: see The Herd.
Hunting
Killing one teaches you 12 Sprint experience (see Stats), always the same whatever your level.
When hunted
| Item | Amount | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Leather, Runner's Raincoat, Tank's Raincoat, and more | |
| 1 | Any Fat, Lamp Oil, Fox Treat, Frog Treat, and more |
It lets go of 4 Earth and 3 Wind spirits.
